Sheriff Joe Arpaio meets, greets at Republican National Convention

If there is one Arizona delegate who will not be ignored at the Republican National Convention, it is Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

The hard-charging lawman has been an enthusiastic supporter of presumed nominee Donald Trump. The candidate has visited Arizona several times in the past year and Arpaio showed up for a campaign event in Iowa earlier this year.

Since arriving in Cleveland, Arpaio has been making the rounds on TV news, starting with a visit to Fox Business.

During that opening night Monday talk, he pointed out that he warned of a “war on police” two years ago, referring to the recent shootings of officers in Texas and Louisiana.

Arpaio also talked to MSNBC about the topic he is best known for — illegal immigration.

“No matter how this election turns out, at least opened the year ago immigration, whether it’s the wall, it doesn’t matter. The wall, all these candidates did not want to talk about it. but since he got (so) much publicity talking about it … it became a big political issue.”
